Dear Colleagues,
On the Kargil Diwas (26 July) this year, the IESM plans to project a positive image in the society. In addition to paying the traditional homage to our brave martyrs at the war memorials, we plan to organise blood donations. For those above 60, who are not allowed to donate blood, signing of pledges for organ donation will be included. Participation is planned to be widened to include civilians in our campaign. Free medical checks can also be on the roaster. The events can/should be organised at all major metros in the country that have a significant ESM population. Media can be contacted to cover the events. This is still a broad-brush plan. Details are being shaped up. Views are welcome.
An MP informed me that Arun Jaitley of the BJP raised the OROP issue in the Rajya Sabha today. Reportedly, accusing the Congress of stealing the BJP manifesto on OROP, he told the govt to implement it straightaway and that there is no need for a committee for this purpose.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
